Photos Of The New WWE Title Belt Unveiled By The Rock

WWE unveiled a new WWE Championship title belt on this week's episode of Raw. The Rock revealed the new title in the closing segment of the show. John Cena came out but was taken out by CM Punk with the old "spinner" belt that Rock had told a staffer to take to the back.

Below are images of the new belt:

WWE has used the "spinner" belt design since April 11, 2005.

Richard Reacts: So when is John Cena turning heel? I said there were two things I would have to see to believe and a new WWE title belt was one of those things. WWE has talked for years about replacing the "spinner" belt design but Vince McMahon has always pushed back due to how well replicas sold. I'm still too surprised to even give my thoughts but a change was long overdo.

well that thing looks like crap but at least they finally got rid of the spinner. As for the heel turn, as soon as Cena’s music hit I was hoping they were gonna do it right then and there. Hopefully it’ll happen

I may be in the minority, but the spinner belt was WAY uglier. At the very least, this one says “CHAMPION” and not “CHAMP.” However, I still don’t think there was ever anything wrong with the “Undisputed” belt, which was the last one The Rock had before dropping it to Lesnar. I don’t see why they couldn’t have just reverted to that one.

The more I like it, the more I see it. And thank goodness it says “Champion” over “Champ”! 🙂

I found this interesting in the timing of it. I figure its a foregone conclusion that Cena wins at Mania but now I’m not so sure. Does it make sense to finally switch from the spinner belt when the title would be going onto the guy who introduced it?

or is it just a month long product for them to simply make more money on and then it goes to the default shown in the WWE store?

Richard, as for the sales being the reason it was never changed…I don’t see why that matters. They can still sell the replica in the WWE shop. Its popular with the kids and will probably remain so just b/c of the spinning aspect, not b/c its actually worn by the champion in-ring.

I think this belt doesn’t look better then the spinner belt. I’d prefer if they either went back to the eagle belt, or the undisputed belt that Cena dumped for the spinner. I’m not a fan of the huge Wwe logo in the middle and the square shape doesn’t fit Heavyweight title it should be round. Plus if I’m Punk I’d really be pissed because that’s the same title he took a picture with when he was talking about debuting a new title. I’m not a huge Punk fan but damn that’s cold.

I remember Punk did a Q&A at a comic con or something at one point last year and was asked about a new belt and his response was along the lines of there was a newer title (being made or already made) and said that it looked uglier than the spinner belt. I could be wrong though, but pretty sure Punk said something like that about the newer belt.

I just really don’t know what’s up with whoever designs the new belts lately. You have the ugly penny looking tag titles and now the wwe title. It’s like they are blind. The ic title is awesome because it’s a newer version of the 80 to 90 version, they should’ve done that with both the tag and wwe titles. I pray to God they never change the world title leave that as is please.

I prefer the spinner belt over this one in my opinion. Yes we needed a change, but something better than that at least. Bring back the Attitude era belt

You know, I really feel like they are doing this just to piss us off.

I didn’t scroll through every comment to see if someone said this but I really doubt they are going to keep this belt longer than Rock’s reign. The Smokin Skull belt was part of a storyline for Austin’s reign back in the 90’s then they went back to a belt with an eagle. My guess is this isn’t the last we’ve seen of the spinner belt

My first thought was it reminded me slightly of the old Light Heavyweight Title that was boxy in shape

looks like a hood ornament

Lewis

there’s no place for the champion’s name which is the main problem I have with it

It looks like a combination of wood, pine cones, metal shavings, ass hairs and steel wool.

Looks fine to me, my favorite belt is the one used before the Spinner Belt came in though. But would be cool if the side plates changed to show the Superstars logo depending on sho holds the title at the time.

And could Heyman possibly pull a swerve on everyone and end up screwing Punk & aligning with John Cena in the heel turn we’ve all waited for? Just a thought.

They should have just got rid if the spinning part and some of the bling. This is hideous, doesnt compare to the World Heavyweight Championship belt. All of the previous title belts illustrated the history of the championship to some extent with the exception of a few gimmick one offs. This is too simple and cheap looking – the spinner was too much bling, but I’d rather that than this.

My first reaction was that the new belt looks like a giant class ring. I’m not sure I like it.
